I really enjoy the show and I feel that without Johnny, there wouldn't be a large amount of views watching. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. It seems as though the amount of work that is placed into the making of one episode is about right because everyone really puts their heart, soul and faith into it. It really surprised me that there are so many fans and I really think it's great. Without the fans there would be no Touched By An Angle and without TBAA where would we all be Sunday night at 8pm (EST). Thanks to everyone for watching and hopefully the more views watch the longer the show will be aired.

Something happened just a short while ago that I have to tell you all about. The street where I live dead-ends at the south end, so whenever anyone here goes anyhere we cross the intersection with Julian Avenue. My street is a typical residential street in a semi-rural area, but Julian is a pretty good-sized artery with a 40 MPH limit. There is a traffic light at the intersection. I was stopped at the intersection waiting for the green. Just before the light changed in my direction, a car approaching from the left slowed for the yellow and stopped, as usual. At some distance to my right was a white sedan, late-model and high-end (not that it really matters). No reason in the world to think it would not slow and stop for the red. Moments after looking at it and naturally assuming it would stop, I faced forward and began crossing. It didn't stop. It didn't even slow down. When the car passed in front of me the driver's eyes were locked straight forward. He hadn't slowed nor did he swerve at all to avoid me. There wasn't the slightest indication that either I or the light was even noticed. Maybe drugs, who knows? But I even questioned myself just after; had I somehow absent-mindedly started against a red? No. My light turned yellow just as I glanced at it a few moments after the near-collision. When that car crossed my path at probably 45 MPH there was, I assure you, no more than two feet of clearance. It was across the intersection before I had time to even begin to react. If I had delayed my start across the intersection half a second I'd have seen that the car wasn't slowing and I'd not have started across until it passed. If I had started half a second earlier I might be writing this with a laptop from a hospital bed - if I could at all. I don't care what *anybody* says. Those two feet of space were NOT empty. There was an angel there, making sure those two feet would be there. I know it as sure as if I'd seen it. Maybe my own guardian, maybe another; it doesn't matter. What does matter is that it was not His will that I meet Andrew in person, so to speak, not just yet. And I know He sent a messenger to see to that. If I hadn't believed before, I would now. Thank you, God. -- A postscript: Someone told me that the Wal-Mart here had the TBAA book for 30% off, so I went out to get it (not the same trip as the incident above). They were out. So I went to the nearest mall and checked a Waldenbooks and a B. Dalton. They carry it, but they were out. So I went to a Barnes & Noble further on, which is probably about three acres large and carries everything. THEY were out, though I did pick up a copy of the other book, "When Angels Speak." The salesperson who helped me look suggested that a lot of copies were purchased for Mother's Day gifts. I think it's probably a combination of that and the recent prominence of TBAA. Anyway, *somebody's* buying a lot of copies; so we're not the only ones who appreciate TBAA. Just thought I'd pass that on. -- Ray Simard rsimard @ . .addy.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 May 1997 21:16:26 -0400 (EDT) From: MBrown3776 @ . .addy.com To: tbaangel @ . .addy.com Subject: The "You Know ....

Seven angels, all so strikingly different, evoking entirely different emotions, yet all bringing love and sometimes miracles from the One who sent them - just as the real ones around us do. I think this is wonderfully put. And I agree with all of you who said = that the real star of the show is God. IMHO, this is a feel good, = inspirational show.

The two previous posts pick up on the same thing I noticed--and wrote to CBS about. Here's the last paragraph of the letter I wrote: ..."I wanted to let you know that I think adding John Dye to the show was an excellent move. I (already) get a little tired of Monica constantly messing up and Tess straightening her out, but I realize that that is necessary to developing the storyline. I think that the addition of Andrew provides a nice balance-point between the two female angels. The serenity and compassion of his character is a better expression of the Love of God that the show is trying to convey than any spoken line." I was a little less kind in writing to the show. Now, don't get upset with me :-}, but I referred to Monica's "whining" and Tess's "fussing". In spite of that they still were nice enough to send me one of those autographed cast photos (it came today!). I haven't been watching that long, but on most of the eps I've seen, the roles have be written so that Monica is very much the novice caseworker who has to be guided by Tess. Mostly, I consider this setup as a plot device so that it can be Monica learning a lesson rather than the audience being preached to (sure to turn off viewers like me :-)). Admittedly I'm one of the bus riders (actually, I was thinking about plastering myself to the windshield and hanging onto the wipers...better view, ya know...), but I think Andrew's serene, *experienced*, love and compassion adds a balance point between Monica's naive, child-like, *inexperienced* innocence and Tess's brusque, no-nonsense, bossiness. And Andrew is this balance because of John. I didn't see last year's eps, but it seems pretty apparent that TPTB saw how much his presence brought to the show and elected to make him a full-fledged cast member. Now, if they could just get over feeling the need to explain why an AOD is around... (I think they should just say they've had too much burn-out among AODs and so the new policy is to assign AODs as members of case task teams...) Moving on. I also thought Sunday's ep was very surreal. I keep thinking about the play "Waiting for Godot", I remember Godot was God and the characters just sitting there, (and I was bored reading it) but not much more... Anyway, this ep could have been a stage play with this metaphorical highway and sequence of angels. Maybe that was what they were going for. So, maybe the critics would say it was brilliant. Me, I say it was built around the concept of having Cosby on and most of the previous angels back for a visit (talk about your ratings ploys). I'd prefer an episode be written around a plotline.

It can be so difficult trying to tell a skeptic about it. And even when there's pain and damage, as in your accident, knowing that it could have been so much worse and knowing why it wasn't is so comforting. Sort of like something Phil said last night, about not blaming God for what you don't have (or what you may have lost), but thanking Him for what you do have. When you say that your car "just stopped," I couldn't help but think of Tess stopping that Chevy with her foot! :-) And something else: I can see now that this isn't the first time something like this has happened to me. But the other time was about 12 years ago and back then I didn't see things as clearly and I never gave any thought to why I came through it as I did. I think I should wait a while to write about it, but part of it is that I was in an auto accident but wasn't injured, and the damage to the car, while not slight, didn't disable it and I was able to drive away. Nobody could believe it turned out that way, given the circumstances, not even me. >And about the books, I can understand, cuz I havce been trying to find >them myself.

All of the bookstores I visited said they carried it but were just out of stock. If you call the major bookstores in your area you should find one that carries it, and if not, I'm sure they can order it. The ISBN number is 0-310-21397-5, published by Zondervan Publishing House, authors Martha Williamson and Robin Sheets and it's titled - surprise! - Touched by an Angel. It's subtitled Stories from the Hit Television Series.

Thank you, God. > Ray, that was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing this awesome experience. I, too, have firsthand experience that there are angels among us, besides that in the Bible. :) When I was about 11 years old I hated to buckle up in the seat belt. We had a large Ford Econoline van with a bench seat in the back. We were leaving a shopping center and something told my mom to ask me to put my seat belt on. Normally I would put up a fuss and refuse when she asked, and she'd let me slide a few times of late. But this time, when she asked, something told me to listen. Not five minutes later we were hit violently from behind by a woman whose brakes had gone out, causing us to strike the car in front of us. If I had not put my seatbelt on I would have gone through the windshield and been killed or seriously brain-damaged. The first words out of my mouth were "Thank You God!" My mother and I both firmly believe that God sent an angel to warn and protect us in that incident. Blessings, Lyn *************************************************** J.

Della and Roma > have a chemistry that NO ONE can touch! Hmmm, forgive me for running AWOL on list rules , but what Susan said about the stars being 2nd to God, I believe that. If something were to happen to any one of them, the show would still procede in God's will for it. He would find another perfect person...look at how he brought John in. On the other hand, I have to tell you that as I have been reading different people's opinions about the issue (each in accordance to their tastes), I would have to say for myself alone that if John Dye were to leave, I would probably stop watching the show. I didn't watch it before he came on and the one EP I saw without him (Fear Not?) felt funny, even though I loved it so much. I find John to be a very calming and stabilizing influence in his portrayal of Andrew. I love God, but we talk all the time...I don't HAVE to have him anywhere else. Not on TV, not in a church, but right here in my heart where he's closest. That is merely my opinion though. And so, if John left there would really not be a reason for me to follow through with the series. Della and Tess would continue on with one another, spreading along the news that God loves all of us. But it is John who comforts me. He is a glimpse into a realm of respect and love I can only dream exists here in the real world. Because his love and respect is passed on to Della and Roma on screen, I know it exists. And I revel in it. Never was a picture painted so beautifully than this canvas of God's own choosing - three angels, three actors blending into one. But these are JMHOs. My life won't reflect the beliefs and disbeliefs of everyone else. And i'm happy to be that way. It's what makes each one of us "so special." ===================================================================== In Love and Light, Sky Dancer - http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/3471/ EEL, EEFFRR, KCEB (The Sun-Times Band), TBAA, AiA, X-Phile, & Nick's Harem, FKnight Riders, N&NPacker & Dark Knightie Wanna-Be ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 May 1997 21:54:45 -0700 (PDT) From: Tina Goin To: tbaangel @ . .addy.com Subject: this silly little war... Salutations, I have to say it really caught me off guard when I read some of the posts that spoke of "which angel was best", and "who the star angels are", etc... That's all so silly, ya'll. We should spend our time on this list talking about how blessed we all are to have a show like TBAA to touch our hearts and lives every week, not waste it quibbling over which angels are more/less essential than others! The way I like to look at it is this: God has a plan for everything and everyone. He knew that if he put these three wonderful actors together to do His Work, it would bless a great many souls. There are people whose *lives have been changed* by something that one or the other of our angels has done; perhaps a line that they spoke, or a simple act of love that they showed to someone on the show. Who are we to think about who is more/most important? Everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion, and there are many different ones on this list alone, but rather than letting them divide us, let's let the love we all share for TBAA and it's cast members keep us together. God is the Star of the show; Roma, John & Della were simply chosen to help Him out. If and when He decides it's time for any of them to leave the show, then so be it. Until then, let's just enjoy watching every moment of our show as much as the three of them enjoy making it. :) We've got something wonderful here, folks. Let's never forget that. :P In Christian love forever and always, === Tina _____________________________________________________________________ Sent by RocketMail.

However I would like to offer the following for everyone's consideration based on what I just skimmed: If someone refers to themselves by a name/title, then it's obviously OK to use that name for them. If someone refers to a group you belong to by a name/title, it's generic enough that you can't say they meant you specifically, so it's hard to say they attacked you in any way. If, however, you were specifically singled out with a name you don't like, *then* you have an honest, solid gripe. I'll look into this more closely tomorrow and see what's up here.
